Babywearing has helped me to connect with my daughter, I love the snuggle time I get with her, I love keeping her close & safe when we’re out & about & I love how damned COOL it is! I get many compliments when I carry her BABYWEARING ROCKS!

I wore my 1st some, but not often, but now with #2 babywearing has truly been a blessing! My kiddos are 22 months apart, and the only way I can chase my toddler around is by wearing my infant! Thanks for the chance!

Babywearing has helped me to be able to hold and cuddle my second child, without neglecting my toddler. Being able to spend quality time with them both at the same time has helped them bond as well, i’m so happy to have found such wonderful resources like PaxBaby and The Leaky Boob!

Babywearing has help me be a good parent by not only being able to stay connected to my children and give them the attention that they diserve, but also by letting me get household duties done while connecting with them. Babywearing was a life savor with my first, without babywearing I would have been stuck sitting or laying down with my baby because she wanted my attention constantly, I would have never been able to get anything done around the house. Now babywearing is a life savor with giving my newborn attention while giving my toddler attention and letting the toddler run around and play outside and getting to play with her, but still having the newborn right there.

I have loved babywearing since my mom brought me a Snugli. It was not made well, and soon I progressed to an Ergo and OMG I love it. #3 is on the way though, and I’m looking for something infant friendly, glad to have this chat tonight to give me ideas!

Babywearing has helped me to stay sane as a parent LOL. I’m able to get so much done while keeping baby close and helping to comfort baby as well. It’s so much easier to get around with a carrier than a stroller too!

I have yet to do much baby wearing but I am pregnant with my second child and am feeling like my only way to servive is a great baby carrier. We recently got custody of my 6 year old step son who has been through some traumatic events and needs a lot of me, on top of that I have a two year old son and am expecting a baby girl Nov. 15. My hands are full she will have to be worn

Babywearing has changed my life! I can actually get things done at home and still be close 24/7 to my DD. I think my house would be a wreck.if I.didn’t babywear. I thank everyone I’ve if you moms that Gabe Bern so inspirational and guided me along the way..xoxo

Baby wearing has been so helpful to myself and my four children. From getting things done around the house to taking a stroll and getting fresh air. I have worn all my babies. I currently only have an upright carrier because I had gotten rid of my stash , not thinking I would have more kids. I really need to get a wrap since I find them far more comfortable!

Babywearing has helped me so much as a parent! I love snuggling my baby close to me. It makes running errands and shopping with 2 kids so much easier! And he loves to sleep in it, so I can get stuff done!

Babywearing allows me to stay close to my little girl but also get some things done when she is needing some extra mommy time. When I need to vacuum or mop the floor, I can just put her on my back and she’s happy because she’s with her momma and i get stuff done

Babywearing my son allowed me to keep up with our busy little farm while offering him the comfort he always needed. He’s now outgrown being worn and my new daughter finds a lot of comfort being worn, which frees me up to both keep up with the farm and my 3 year old son. It’s a crazy life out here

Love this wrap!! Id love to get one, would be so nice for being out and about. Love your website and fb page too Jessica. Seeing all you have to say is my new favorite thing to do during the day when I have free time.

I would love to win this. I don’t think a stretch wrap is the best thing for my heavy boy, however If I win I would try it, and if it doesn’t work, I would pass it on to another momma who would be blessed by babywearing.

Baby wearing has allowed me to give my son the rhythm of his mum’s movement, a free on demand breast, and warmth and snuggles all while allowing me to be fully accessible to my older son and give him the safety and attention he needs.

Babywearing was the *ONLY* way I could get out of the house with my newborn a she absolutely hated the stroller. If I hadn’t been able to babywear I wouldn’t have been able to socialize as much as I needed to in order to stay sane.

Babywearing has helped me feel more in control when out on errands. I don’t feel like I’m in the way with a large stroller and don’t have to worry about whether the place is set up for strollers. Plus I love having my baby near.

I really love babywearing but traditional slings are not big enough or very comfy for me.. i used to like the moby wrap but now that i have a big girl it stretches a little too much! babywearing makes EVERYTHING easier.. cooking, cleaning, running errands, and baby is content to “help” you do these things!!!

I am a stay at home mommy with a wonderfully attached baby boy! Baby wearing allows me to get housework done while bonding with my little one! He also will not nap unless I lay with him so if he is getting fussy I wear him until I am able to lay down for a bit! Love your carriers!

I haven’t done a lot of babywearing… but I really need to do more of it! Tonight, my baby was SUPER fussy and I was frustrated as I couldn’t figure out what he wanted. I put him on in my moby wrap and he “helped” me cook dinner and then fell asleep against me I really like my moby wrap, but… it is ALMOST too small!! It literally JUST ties in one knot on me. Might not work when my 4 month old gets much bigger Would love to win this wrap I love the colour too!

I have yet to enjoy the benefits of baby wearing, as my baby will be arriving in January. But I am definitely looking forward to the experience! I love the idea of keeping my baby warm and snuggled against me, a safe place for them to explore the world with me. Instead of using a carrier while out, I’ll carry them, so they will feel secure and I will have free hands. I intend to breastfeed and I think a wrap will make a wonderful, convenient way to breast feed discreetly while out without the baby having to rearrange themselves and get uncomfortable all over again. I can’t wait!

Babywearing has helped me immensely, in that I sometimes feel like a single mom. Her dad is here, but not very involved. I do all the shopping during the day while he’s at work. I often have to have her nap on the go…so I just put her up and let her pass out!

I love babywearing!!! I still wear my oldest (almost 3 and 36#.) My youngest is such a chunk, it’s hard to wear him on my front anymore because it puts a lot of pressure on my hips…can’t wait till he’s a little bigger so I can do a back carry!

Babywearing has been a lifesaver for me in so many ways! It makes it possible when going out. Shopping or running errands is so much easier to just put my sweet boy in my carrier versus getting out the stroller. What I love most about babywearing the past 13 months is the bond that my son and I share. I still to this day can put him into my carrier (Ergo) and it calms him instantly just like when he was newborn. Of course I love babywearing and nursing too!

Baby wearing help me get around with a 9 month old 3,7,10 year old it helps kep my baby close . I have conic body pain and my arms are weak a carrier is onetime the only wy I can hold my lil guy or longer then a few minutes . Baby wearing has allowed me to hold him close longer and as needed for his and my own comfort . I thank Jillian for introducing me to extended baby wearing and helping me find the proper carrier for us.

Babywearing gives me more freedom to do things with my hands and helps me take the kid exploring where a stroller wouldn’t fit. My son also loves being right there beside me getting to experience as much as possible.

Babywearing has become essential now that I have an almost three year old and a newborn – it’s how I manage shopping, chores, playing outside, and basically anything that I need to be hands-on with for my older child.

I love baby wearing.. I use an inward facing buckle carrier and a maya sling.. My daughter loves nursing in the maya sling more than the other carrier.. As a stay at home Mommy baby wearing is just wonderful.. We use either gore walks, cooking, cleaning, and while out with friends..

I loved snuggling and bonding with my baby in the moby the first few weeks after he was born, and we continued to use it during church to keep him calm. When we are out he still prefers to be worn vs stroller.

I love babywearing because it makes me feel like I am having a deeper bonding experience with my baby. I also love that it frees up my hands!! My baby loves to be held allllll the time and this helps let me do so!

Babywearing has allowed me to be physically close to my children while still being able to get things done around the house. I also love babywearing in busy, crowded places! No need to try and maneuver a bulky stroller through the crowds.

I have three under three, with the youngest (2.5 months) having a crazy fussy period in the evenings. Wearing her is the only way I can get my older two ready for bed without tears from the baby. I really don’t think I could handle my three little blessings without a good wrap or SSC in my parenting arsenal.

Babywearing helped me as a parent by allowing me to have usage of my hands and still bond with my child. And it will help me even more when I have my 2nd child whom I plan on nursing. I’ll be able to wear and nurse my baby and tend to my 2 year old at the same time.

I’m new to the baby wearing world, cannot wait to wear my upcoming baby, for now I’m wearing my three year old when he wants because I want to let him experience that comfort! Even though he is three, its never to late! I cannot wait to use what I learn and wear my new little one and since I was unable to breastfeed my 1st, I will not give up the second time now that I have better information! I know babywearing will help me in this quest to do better for my babies and myself as a mother and individual. I would love this!

Baby wearing has allowed my son to get naps while my husband ( who works nights) gets some extra sleep in the mornings. I can get things done with my four year old, while my six month old naps on me. My husband also loves to wear him in the moby. I think he straps him on more than I do!

I love the feeling of closeness and the bond between my son and I when I hold him in my arms, and to be able to have that throughout the day as I carry him near my heart with a Wrapsody Stretch Brigid would be heavenly!

With my 4th squish almost here and homeschooling the older 2 I wouldn’t survive without Babywearing. Living on low funds makes it less fun but 1 carrier or 10 I love wearing my babies and would love to add this stretch for my newbie

Wearing my 10-week-old has empowered me to get house work and even some “me” time in while not feeling as though I was leaving her in the background. Plus, we have a strong bond and I just love having that sweet face snuggled up!

Babywearing has helped create an amazing bond between baby and I , and with my newfound abilities as a confident Babywearing mama, I am not as intimidated about the upcoming birth of my new babe, with a toddler underfoot as well. I know Babywearing will give me the free hands I need to still parent my toddler while bonding with my newb.

My favourite parenting moment related to baby wearing was when I was finally able to wear my 5-month -old daughter on my back in a mei tai and could pick up my toddler more readily. He hugged me and said “I missed you mommy”. I think that says it all!

babywearing has allowed me to become closer to my daughter. When she was first born and always wanted to be held, I couldn’t figure out how to be hands free and still cook or clean my home. I felt less stressed out when I was able to carry her.

I honestly have no idea how I would have survived without baby wearing. My hubs was deployed when I had baby #2. He didn’t get home to stay until she was 6 months. My 4 year old would have missed out on an awesome winter in Fairbanks AK if I couldn’t wear her little sis and keep her warm with my body heat

With my first, he was a very sensitive baby – light, sound, touch, everything set him off. He wanted, no needed, to be held all the time. That’s when I learned about wraps and slings and ssc’s, and the wonderful world of babywearing

Babywearing is the only thing that helped me keep my house clean the first year of Tripp’s life!! I still wear him out and about, but now he won’t let me clean while wearing him! He tries to “HELP”….. Such a cute wrap!!

I have 6 children, 2 are currently nursing (ages 1 year and 2 months) I am not yet sure if we will have more or not. It is only now, with our 6th child that I have learned how to nurse in a carrier comfortably as I am a larger mother. It would be wonderful to have a good carrier to do this in, I currently have a seven slings carrier :oP … I hope I win!

I loved wearing my son – I often thought about all the extra cuddles and kisses he got as opposed to if I had him in a stroller or far away from me. I definitely think it contributed to our strong bond and connection

Babywearing is a lifesaver in my house. I have 4 boys all 4 and under and without babywearing it would be so hard to get things done. I usually have at least 1 baby on my back (sometimes I wear 2) and it helps me be able to get all my chores done and be hands free so I can still play and interact with my older kids.

Baby wearing has really helped me as a parent by giving me the ability to take care of my home while being close to my son. He’s incredibly attached and always wants to be in mommy’s arms and I am incredibly attached to him, but even though all I want to do is hold him and all he wants to do is be held, things still needto get done.

Babywearing makes a huge difference in our day to day, and I don’t want to imagine our time with our little girl without it. I loved it from the beginning and for my husband, it is a way he can enjoy, soothe and even put to sleep our baby (soon to be babies!) even though he isn’t equipped with breastmilk like me! Babywearing helped us so much through many different stages and I’m sure it’s only going to keep helping as our girls grow.

I’ve been baby wearing for walks and hikes and general tasks since our 8 1/2 month old was born and I’ve nursed and walked on several occasions but it was only a couple of weeks ago that I combined the two. He’s so long to nurse while walking now and we were on a hike with him in a sling. He was impatient to nurse so I slung him in the sling and walked and nursed. And it was perfect!

Baby-wearing out of the house has meant that I don’t have to fight with my older son over who pushes the stroller (yikes!). We’ve also gone places we wouldn’t dream of with a stroller (tall ships festival, multilevel farmers market, rocky beach, Costco). In the house when my daughter was little it meant I could get things done, now that she’s two it still means I can get things done She rides on my back through vacuuming, baking bread, hanging out laundry, cooking supper, walking to the bus stop and more. We don’t do it every day any more but on those days when everything is a little off she is always on

I have been babywearing kiddos for almost six years and it has been invaluable! From keeping my hands free to help little ones to making it through the grocery store with a spirited toddler and calming fussy babies, I don’t know what I would do without my carriers! I’m expecting my fifth child now and I know babywaering will play a valuable part in always keeping my babe close and safe.

Babywearing has helped us bond with our little girl and form a strong attachment while carrying on with our “normal” lives! Both my husband and I love to wear our 5 month old while hiking, walking the dog, traveling, shopping, eating out and much much more. Being snuggled into us keeps her happy, content and quiet while we do what we love to do. Babywearing is helping us integrate our sweet baby into our lives in a way that is exciting and fun for us all

I work full time, so wearing my baby is one way we reconnected at the end of a long day or on the weekends. I expect, with our next little one, it will serve the same purpose, plus allowing me to have my hands free to spend time with my toddler, too.

Babywearing has helped me feel closer to all my kids. My youngest is 2 months old, and wearing him has been a lifesaver! It helps so much with being able to do things around the house, and managing my older 2 while we are out. We love babywearing!

Since my #3 was such a surprise (my other children are 14 &13 yo) I have discovered bwing with this one and I’m so thankful. I feel like we are closer and I’m so much more patient with all of my children because I feel more secure in the choices I am making this time around

I wanted a wrap and a sling so much with my daughter, but I didn’t get a wrap and the sling I got didn’t fit properly. I have a 3rd child on the way and I am determined to get a good wrap, I know it will be soo much easier for all of us!!

we loved baby wearing our first daughter, and now that #2 is on the way, we could use the extra carrier! my husband enjoys baby wearing as well, especially when we are out and about. we prefer it to a stroller because it is so much easier to monitor your little one when they are snuggled against your skin also- it is easier to maneuver in crowds, and more discreet to breastfeed in mixed company. we love baby wearing most because everybody wins

When my older kids were little babywearing was an essential component to being able to care for, chase after, play with my toddlers while still caring for my infant (they are now 18, 16.9, 14.7, 12,.7 years). Now with my youngest (19 months) babywearing is a joy that allows me to spend time with my baby/toddler while still being actively involved in the lives of my teens. So thankful to my lovely midwife who introduced my to Ring Slings 18 years ago.

Sorry I missed the give away! The Wrapsody looks like a great product. Baby wearing has allowed me to care for my LO while walking the dog, grocery shopping etc. It is the best way to get things done around the house while still spending quality time with my little man!
